Acceptance of Terms

Binding Agreement

By accessing, browsing, testing, or utilizing Shader Studio, its associated web application, procedural engine runtimes, or exported code modules, you agree to comply with and be legally bound by these Terms of Service.

User Content and Intellectual Property

100% IP Retention

Your Content Belongs to You: You retain full intellectual property ownership, copyright, and distribution rights to all custom shaders, GLSL source code, mathematical parameter configurations, custom palettes, and visual recordings you create or export using Shader Studio.

Acceptable Creative Use: You agree not to use Shader Studio, its AI synthesis toolchain, or exported WebGL2 scripts to generate, distribute, or execute malware, cryptomining loops, illegal visual content, or material that infringes upon third-party copyrights or trademarks.

Zero Claim to Client Works: Casberry and Shader Studio assert no claims of intellectual property or royalties on any commercial website, client deliverable, or interactive art installation powered by our exported runtimes.

Billing, Subscriptions and Cancellations

Dodo Payments MoR

Payments for Shader Studio Pro subscriptions are processed securely through Dodo Payments as our authorized Merchant of Record.

  • Subscription Plans: Pro is available as a Monthly subscription ($9/month) or an Annual subscription ($79/year, or $69/year during early bird promotional windows).
  • Automatic Renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically at the conclusion of each billing period unless canceled prior to the renewal date.
  • Self-Serve Cancellation: You can manage, update billing payment methods, or cancel your active subscription at any time with 1-click via the self-serve billing portal inside your user profile menu.
  • Access Through Billing Period: Upon cancellation, your account retains unrestricted Pro access through the end of the current pre-paid cycle, after which it smoothly transitions to the Free Tier without deleting your locally saved shaders.
05

Disclaimer of Warranties & WebGL Performance

Runtime Terms

Shader Studio, its online editor, and exported standalone code snippets (HTML, Lite JS, Studio JS) are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

While our procedural graphics runtimes are rigorously engineered for 60 FPS performance with zero external dependencies:

  • Client-side frame rates and raymarching rendering times depend directly on the target user's graphics hardware (GPU), display resolution, driver version, and browser power-saving configurations.
  • We do not guarantee that exported WebGL2 shaders will execute at maximum frame rates on legacy mobile chipsets lacking native WebGL2 or floating-point texture support.
